Default One thing about Harry

He is a man of his word when it comes to a gentleman's wager . I was
out of town for a few days and returned to find his postal money order
for our election bet.

I wasn't convinced that it would happen so I sent John the money I
"owed" him in advance. It will go to a great cause that might bring a
tear to Harry's eye. I'll leave it to John if he wants to fill in the
blanks.

I know it is fun to play with him but I always thought he was a good
guy. I am a little disappointed we could not get together when I was
in his "hood".

You didn't 'owe' me anything. It was a gracious gift to go towards a gift I plan to give an old Army
veteran (a few years older than me, anyway). He served two tours in Vietnam, lost his job when his
company folded, and is now living with his son and getting only Social Security.

He loves shooting, especially my Kimber .45. We go at least every two weeks. He had left his guns,
including a Colt M1911, with a son in Washington whose house was broken into. The guns were stolen
along with all the other valuable stuff.

He needs a gun. I'd been looking at some .45's with him in mind and have settled on the Ruger
SR1911, which will run about $675.

When I mentioned this to Alex, he immediately offered to help buy the gift, using the proceeds from
his bet with Harry. Harry probably would have donated the money anyway...maybe...out of the goodness
of his heart.

Harry, thanks for coming through on your bet.

Alex, thank you too! I've not ordered the gun yet. Waiting to see if the Trump election will cause
prices to drop a bit. Lots of dealers really stocked up expecting Hillary to win.

I'd love to add a 'great minds think alike' comment, but here's proof
they don't.



I used to have respect for Harry's liberal views even though I didn't
necessarily agree with many of them. I often enjoyed friendly debate but
he's gone off the deep end it seems. He makes false claims about people
that he doesn't really know, repeating them over and over until he is
convinced in his obsessed mind that they are true. I can't deal with
that kind of warped and dishonest mentality. It's straight out of the
progressive liberal playbook.



But it is perfectly ok when your buddy Justan makes "false claims about
people he doesn't know," right?
Of course, right, because as you have told me, you think those claims
are "funny."

Perhaps a bit of satire based mostly on truth. Don't like it?
Don't read it. Prove me wrong on any of the truths I've told
about you.

Personally, I think you've given Harry the benefit of a lot more doubt than he ever deserved. He's
been making false claims about people for a long time.
